Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You know, I love to be mad about people finding works of art that is worth a lot of money in their basement or in their attic or at a thrift store. And, you know, it's good for them, and I love to be mad about it because it hasn't happened to me. Then I see the story yesterday about a painting from Delacroix, this artist from France in the 1800s. And they pass it off in the beginning of, you know, they have another great find that they didn't know they had from one of France's great 19th century romantic artists.

And the auctioneer, or at least the person who is in charge of seeing what people have to auction off, arrived. And he said, I was attracted by its magnetism. It was my gaze, went to the painting. and it was one of Delacroix's The Study of Reclining Lions and so it's this great painting of I don't know how great it is but they consider it great

and it's going up for auction tomorrow for those of you listing live today is the 27th of March 2025 so it goes up for auction tomorrow and they're saying that it could get at least $330,000 probably going to go for a lot more but then as you read the story

you realize that these people knew what they had all along. They have a certificate that they had from a collector in 1973. They had a letter written by another Delacroix specialist from 1966. And the painting is also marked with the wax seal from Delacroix's studio sale, which occurred in the year after his death in 1863. So, I mean, they knew exactly what they had. Does, you know, so that makes me, now I'm mad that they tried to pass it off as people not knowing what they had. Instead, they knew exactly what they had.

And it's been in the family since, you know, the 1800s, and now they're getting ready to auction it off. I don't know why. If it's been with the family that long, why not keep it? But, you know, I digress. So you can still have a chance to get the painting from, Delacroix, you can bid on it. It's going up for auction tomorrow, as I said.

I'm not sure where the starting bid starts, but they expected to get at least $330,000. So I would have at least that much in the wallet. Probably going to go for a lot more. Good luck, though. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So this is interesting.

According to reports, Yum brands, has partnered with Dividea, and they're going to integrate AI into drive-thrus at Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC locations across the nation. There's not a time frame. I believe that that's already happening. I told you about the time I went through the drive-thru,

and I think it was an Arby's, right? Remember because I hadn't been to an Arby's in quite some time? And just the way that my order was taken, I believe that it was AI. but it's coming and it's coming fast. I just saw a story about Bill Gates being on Jimmy Fallon, NBC's Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. And this interview took place back in February. And I don't remember seeing it back in February.

So maybe nobody watches Jimmy Fallon and finally we're getting around and knowing what actually happened on his show. Could be. It's possible. But he believes that at the moment, expertise remains rare. Gates explained. pointing to a human specialist we still rely on in many fields, including a great doctor and a great teacher. But he said with AI over the next decade,

and I would say that it's going to be faster than a next decade. But, okay, over the next decade, that will become free, commonplace, great medical advice, great tutoring. Are we sure that's going to just be free, Bill? In other words, the world is entering a new era of what Gates called free intelligence. That's an interesting way to put that, Bill. that free intelligence. Is it going to be free? That really irks me. In an interview last month with Harvard University professor and happiness expert,

Love him, Arthur Brooks. The result will be rapid advances in AI power technologies that are accessible and touch nearly every aspect of our lives. Now, Bill Gates went on to say, from improved medicines and diagnosis to widely available AI tutors and virtual assistance. Even Bill Gates said, yeah, you know, that's a little bit scary. Uh, yeah. Now he goes on to say that AI powered future is ongoing.

AI will help humans work more efficiently, but it won't replace them altogether. It will just spur economic growth that leads to more jobs being created. Uh-huh. Others like Microsoft AI CEO, Mustafa Sullivan, uh, say that technological advancements over the next several years will change what most jobs look like across nearly every industry and have a hugely destabilizing impact on the

workforce. Oh, well, that makes you feel better, doesn't it? These tools will only temporarily augment human intelligence. Okay. He talked about this in his book, The Coming Wave. This is Mustufa Sullivan. Mustafa, M-U-S-A-F-A-F-A-Sullivan, the Microsoft AI CEO. Okay. He said that will make us smarter, more efficient for a time, and will unlock enormous amounts of economic growth, but they are fundamentally labor replacing. Oh, okay.

So we're going to have breakthroughs in treatments for deadly diseases, innovative solutions for climate change, this according to Bill Gates, and high-quality education for everyone. Uh-huh. But he goes on to say, that certain types of jobs will likely never be replaced by AI, noting that people probably don't want to see machines playing baseball, for example.

No, we don't. But if we don't have jobs, how are we going to pay to see people playing baseball? We're not. There will be some things that we reserve for ourselves. But in terms of making things and moving things and growing food over time, those will be basically solved problems. Okay. So something to look forward to. I can't wait. The things are moving so fast. Be ready for it. Don't close your mind to it because it's coming. And I think the only way to close our minds to it would be to, you know, I guess find a place to create a commune where we all live together and just have one big happy socialist group together where we farm and learn and live and grow and expand our lives inside of this.

fenced in area, right? Because, wow, things are changing at a rapid pace. And, you know, outside of a commune, how are you going to survive? I mean, it's a little scary to think about. Are we, we're going to have to go back to coming up with that conversation about the basic minimum income, right, the income. We're going to end up talking about that because if people are not going to be able to have jobs and we have AI and robots, do it. We're going to end up talking about that. We're going to be going to be able to be able to be able to have jobs. those jobs. A, how are you going to afford the robots that are doing the jobs? And B, how are you going to at least survive day to day doing whatever it is you do? You're not going to be able to because they're not going to be there for you. So we're going to get back to that basic minimum income talk. And everybody's

going to have so much that they get from whatever entity and you either live on that or you live on that Plus, you have some side job of, I don't know, plumbing. I don't know. Robots take care of plumbing, I guess. Look, I haven't seen a robot do dishes yet. So maybe they can't get wet. So maybe you do something with water, whether it be, you know, plumbing or something. So you be the guy that gets down into the sewer because the robot can't get wet.

Okay, so whenever, as soon as you see a robot that can get wet, then now we're going to talk about finding a minimum income for you as well. And I'm not sure what will happen to all these companies. I mean, things are definitely changing at a rapid pace. Well, I just saw the list from Forbes that ranks the best large employers of 2025 and the best mid-size employers of 2025. And they say that they list 498 mid-size employers and 701 large employers on their list. And they surveyed respondents who remained anonymous so they could answer freely, were asked if they would recommend their employer to others and to rate it based on a range of criteria, salary, work environment, training programs, opportunities to advance.

Okay. So they questioned 217,000 employees working at companies within the United States that employ more than 1,000 people. And the organizations were stratified so that companies with 1,000 to 5,000 were deemed midsize, and companies with more than 5,000 employees were considered large employees. And you look at the top 10, Raymond James Financial, okay, Delta Airlines, in and out burger. Microsoft, Google, Navy Federal Credit Union,

NVIDIA, Houston Methodist was number three, Trader Joe's was number two, and the number one, the number one best large employer from 2025 is the University of Notre Dame. I know.

I don't understand it either. But congratulations to Notre Dame University. And then you go to the mid-sized employers. The top 10, starting at 10, Silver Cross Hospital, Universal Music Group, Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield, Morning Star,

B.I. Worldwide, financial industry regulatory authority. I love them. The financial industry regulatory authority. Wow. They deserve to be higher on this list of number five. The Toll Brothers, it's construction chemicals and raw materials number four. Western Carolina University.

Federal Communications Commission, the FCC. Well, good for them, I guess. And Shriners Hospitals for Children is number one. Congratulations to them for being the best employer, mid-size employers for the Forbes list of 2025. and that will be changing with AI, won't it? The one thing that won't change is our need for emergency medicine when we need it if there's an emergency. I mean, I know the world is constantly changing and we talk about it all the time here on chewing the fat, but in some days, some things never change, and that is that things always change.

There's always going to be an emergency and you need to be prepared for it. Some emergency preparedness that we've done in the past include emergency contacts, evacuation routes, meeting places, a getaway bag, important documents, flashlights, batteries, non-perishable food. But the thing that we don't think about often is medicine. And of course you're going to need medicine. And even if it's not a natural disaster emergency,

it still could be an emergency that, you know, your inths in the middle of the night and you can't get a hold of your doctor and you know that you need some medication fast. That's when you need to have the Jace case. The Jace case. I love having the Jace case available to me because I know that if there is an emergency, I have the medicine I need on hand. It's a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

The generic Jace case provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use, and they even have avermectin as an add-on if you want, and you can build your own J-S-Case case by going to J-S-D-com. J-A-S-E-C-com. Now, you can enter a giveaway that they have going on, or, most importantly, you need to purchase your own J-S-Case case. J-S-D-com.

All right. Well, we've got musicians in the news. Musicians in the news. Three stories. One, Johnny Mathis, sad news. Really, he's not in Who Die Today because he's not dead.

I know. Don't look at me like that. I didn't know that he was still alive either, but he is. He's 89 years old. He turns 90 years old this year. And it was announced today that he is retiring from live stage. performances. I know, dry your eyes. Due to age and memory issues, which have accelerated. So not only has his memory issues accelerated, but so is his age. He turns 90 this year. So there are some existing concerts coming up. His concerts from June of this year onward have all been canceled.

Now he has four remaining shows to do on his. His Voice of Romance tour, including one in Pennsylvania, one in Indiana, one in California, and one in New Jersey. His final show is scheduled for May 18th. So if you want to see him, if you want to see Johnny Mathis live and in person, get there now and go to one of those shows in Pennsylvania, Indiana, California, or New Jersey, because that's it. We're not going to see Johnny Mathis perform any longer. I know, sad news.

I told you to dry your eyes. Then speaking of sad news, Nancy Wilson from the band Heart. You know, you always, I don't know, I always did kind of like Hart. I mean, I appreciate their work. But then I see an interview that she did with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

and I love all the people at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Anyway, she did an interview the first of this month. and it's just now being realized that she did an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I don't know if they have social media. I don't. I'm sorry to say I don't follow the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

But that doesn't matter because if it's a big story, the algorithm should kick it out. Anyway, someone finally saw her interview in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. And Anne Wilson went on to say, she was talking about the 1975 song, crazy on you. And she said, we were kind of embarrassed at the time to call ourselves American because of all the dirty politics of the Vietnam War. Oh, okay. And then she said, to be as subtle as possible, it's more embarrassing now. Wait, what?

It's more embarrassing now to say you're an American? I think not, Anne. What is your problem? What is your problem? So she's just another Trump hater. very sad that that had to happen to Nancy Wilson. Now, Anne has been sick. And she had cancer, went through chemo,

and apparently she's better now, and wants to start playing music again. So will that happen? I don't even know if they're still together. I don't know if Anne and Nancy still tour together, or if they do it separately. That's how I'm a big of heart fan I am. I'm sure they're together, and I'm sure it's fine.

and I'm sure that, you know, Barracuda still sounds like it did back in 1975. I mean, Anne is 74 now. And Nancy is 70, 71, she's younger. And so, I guess they still do tour. Because it says that when Anne had the cancer diagnosis, the sisters were forced to postpone their tour last summer. so yes they still tour so good news their next concert is scheduled for uh in manitoba yay man makes you want to go right to canada and see anne and nancy wilson of heart perform doesn't it

you know though i was thinking why i'm thinking they didn't tour together is because i know someone who hired uh anne wilson i think it was anne maybe it was nancy hired one of them to perform at a party. So they're still out there making money on their own as half of the half of heart, half a heart. So you hire, you hire half a heart. Because I was told that she did not look good. So it must have been Ann,

because Anne was the one. Anne's the one who is older and had cancer and was sick. So maybe she was performing, before she knew, because it was a couple years ago. So maybe it was, uh, she was performing before she actually knew she had cancer, but was getting sick. Because I was told that, uh, she did not, uh, she did not do well. And, uh, that's just what I was told. She was singing at, she was hired to sing at a party.

Uh, and I forget how much it costs because you can probably get and for, I don't know, $20, $30,000 to perform for you. Uh, and, uh, and I forget. And it was not good because she was really struggling to breathe. And so didn't make me want to go see them. And this definitely doesn't want to make me go see them when I know one of them is saying, yeah, it's really hard to be an American.

Is it? And then we got the announcement for Lady Gaga that she is officially taking mayhem on the road. And she's got tour dates across North America, Europe, and the UK. and she is and she's also going to do shows at Mexico and Brazil and Singapore and she's going to be at Coachella

in April. We never did break down who was going to perform at Coachella. We might have to do that. But the Mayhem Ball Tour will see her play Vegas, Seattle, all the big monster cities around the world. So if you want to see Gaga, she hasn't been on tour for three or four

years, right? That was the Chromatica tour. It was her last tour. And I mean, her the sixth studio album, Mayhem, which I have not heard yet, debuted at number one on Billboard 200, and it marks her first trek across North America, Europe and the UK,

yeah, since the Chromatic Ball. So you've got a chance to see Lady Gaga. I'm sure the shows will be awesome because she definitely puts on a good show. Although it doesn't say anything about her loving or hating America, but she, I hope she doesn't make any comments that hurts her. I don't think she will. Gaga is usually pretty smart that way.

Oh, I just remember. Okay, so the pre-sale for tickets to see Gaga starts on the 31st of this month, March 2025. So whenever you're listening to this show, just know that March 31st, 2025 is when the pre-sale tickets to the Gaga Mayhem tour go on sale. So go stand in line. I was going to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. AMC Entertainment is announced that they are going to open 65 ScreenX and 4DX Cinema Auditoriums worldwide.

Wow. So they have partnered with a cinema system developer, C.J. 4D Plex out of Seoul, and the value of the deal was not disclosed. So this is the first global partnership between the two companies. That includes the 4DX auditoriums and 25 ScreenX locations in the U.S. and Europe, in Europe. I got to tell you, it sounds like it's going to be really cool. So System X is a multi-projector system that creates a 270-degree panoramic viewing experience

across three cinema screens. The new ScreenX Auditoriums will feature Barco laser projectors, immersive sound, and recliner seating. 4DX 4D presentations include synchronized motion-based seats, wind, lighting, scents, and other effects. So, okay, I mean, that looks like we're ready to rock and roll for movie theaters. Now, apparently upcoming titles in ScreenX and 4DX include, a Minecraft movie

Sinners F1, Superman, Marvel's Thunderbolts and the Fantastic Four first steps, Paramount's Mission Impossible, the final reckoning.

That may be fun to watch on a screen X. Ballerina, Sony's 28 years later, and Universal's How to Train Your Dragon, and Jurassic World Rebirth. So look forward to that. I mean, that's coming,

and it's probably, it sounds like it's already here. But the thing is, is I was just reading a study from Global Cinema Foundation. And I love them. And it's not a study. I apologize. It's a survey. And they did a survey of 68,000 movie fans across 16 markets.

And apparently there's a big disconnect between what studios are making and what audiences actually want to see. Huh. maybe that's why the audience is down going to theaters. It's not so much, like, we know that people want to watch movies at home, right? But if I can go and watch a Screen X, 4DX movie at the theaters, I'm doing it. If it's a movie that I want to see, yeah. 51% are hungry for more comedies on the big screen.

46% want more suspense, thrillers. in theaters. 55% desire more action adventure movies. There's plenty of action and adventure movies out there, that's for sure, but many of them are not good.

So, I mean, they're ready, people want to see, according to this survey, that they're ready to see films. But according to the survey, 64% of the customers say they have zero barriers to visiting theaters

when there's something they actually want. to watch and that's the thing is it make it worth going to the theaters because for me it takes a lot I mean that but that's a that's a big bar to cross because I want to see them and yes I love seeing the movies at the theater and especially if I'm going to see if I'm going to go now go to the screen X or the 4 DX theaters yeah I'm ready for that that would be really cool I wonder how much they're going to be charging for that But I'm lazy and since I can, I don't mind, I don't mind sitting on my tiltback watching it on my screen here at home.

It's not a movie size screen, but it's a good size screen. And I'm okay with watching it on that good size screen. You know, I don't want to see it on my phone. I mean, I watch videos and things like that on my phone. And I have watched movies on my laptop before. I prefer not to, but I have. I mean, I just, I love going to the theater, but it takes a lot. The movie better be good.

That's all I'm saying. And that's what the survey. It's pretty much what the survey said. Yeah, we'll go to the theater, but how about you give us a movie that we like, okay? So even if they have, you know, screen X and 40x cinemas, if the movies aren't worth going to see, you're not going to go see it. like all those movies that I mentioned a Minecraft movie yeah I mean maybe my kids would go see that

I mean they're Minecraft fans and they're like Jack Black but I don't want to go I'll see that at the theater F1 maybe Superman maybe the Marvel stuff I'm done with although my kids might go see it

The Mission Impossible Tom Cruise is the final reckoning will I go see that at the theater probably the best place to see it am I going to go see it theater? Probably. Probably. Jurassic World Rebirth. I love all the Jurassic World stuff. So, you know, unless it, I'm told that it's terrible.

I see, you know, read the reviews and watch some of the trailers. Unless I see this table, I'd definitely go see it at the theater. That's where I love watching the Jurassic movies at the theater. But they better be good. Like ballerina, don't care. You know, I don't know what sinners is. although if sinners is just another name for Bidness, you might want to see that on the old screen X. But would you want to watch the new movie?

Well, it's not a new movie. It's a new movie coming to theaters, but the movie should have been out, I don't know, three, four years ago. The movie Rust, starring Alec Baldwin. I mean, it's been almost four years since Helena Hutchins, was killed on the set of this movie. So it looks like it's got a theatrical release of May 2nd.

Wow. So I don't know that I want to see this in the Screen X theater, but they released the trailer. And it's a Western based in the 1880s. Alec plays a guy named Harland Rust, hence the name of the movie, who is an outlaw who comes out of hiding to save his 13-year-old grand.

grandson Patrick Scott McDermott, after the boy is sentenced to hang for accidentally killing a rancher. As the two make a run for Mexico, they're pursued by U.S. Marshal Wood Helm, Josh Hopkins, and of course the menacing bounty hunter known as preacher. So we'll see if it makes any money or not. Wow, this movie maybe three years ago would have made some money. Now you're up against 1883 and 1923. so good luck with that and of course what's his face is movie Kevin Costner

Horizon when is they going to be out we've only had the one drop those are supposed to be ready to go Kev let's make that happen I want the I want the updated movies from the Horizon saga anyway so I don't know how good rust is going to be the trailer looks like an average 1800s

movie that probably if it had to come out three years ago probably would have done not bad I don't know we'll see I'll play the trailer for you you can know when Alec is speaking in it I will say that this is when they were filming this movie and then the sad death of Helena Hutchins that's where we began the gunshot and the gun cocking

every time we mention his name so when you hear the full name you get the gunshot out when you hear the first name, you just get the gun cocking. Now, if I were to say Mr. Baldwin, you don't get anything. But it's tough to say Mr. Baldwin because he is such a douche. You know, his show, I've only caught the first episode. I promised I would watch it. And I did.

And there's other episodes. I've got him recorded. I see the clips, you know, with hilarious talking about being the stepmother to Ireland. And she's 11 years older than her. and I see the stories about Alec talking about meeting one of hilarious boyfriends who had

a giant man part it's funny but not really it's sad because he is such a douche and it just drives me insane so anyway this is this is the movie the movie trailer for Rust Oh

horse riding Graveyard. The only order that exists in this world is an order we impose. Yeah. Oh, somebody got a hound. He's got nothing. Now they're on the run.

God bless the wicked. That's the... They continue to pay my deal. That's Pony Hunter. They're on the run. The kid shot somebody. This life you can't get back, I reckon. Oh.

Good line. Something's life we can't get back, I reckon. Rust. Heaven ain't waiting on neither one of us. Oh, that's the shooting in the church. Heaven ain't waiting on neither one of us. Rust. So it's on its way.

It's on his way to theaters. Do I have to watch that on Screen X? I don't think so. Good luck, though. Seriously. Good luck. Alec Baldwin This episode is brought to you by Peloton

I'll play it and we'll see it on Saturday for Saturday morning live. I do a show with Brad Staggs every Saturday at 9 a.m. Central, but you can watch it anytime I prefer that you watch it live on, because it's called Saturday morning live. But you can watch it on my ex at Jeffrey JFR. You can also go back and watch it, you know, at your convenience. That's the way social media works.

anytime, but every week we give you a fresh live show, Saturday morning live, myself and Brad Steggs. And so I'll play the Rust trailer, and you can take a look for yourself that it may be too late for this particular movie, but, you know, you be the judge. You can be the judge. All right, so who died today? Who died today?

Well, we have Joshua Blackledge. Joshua Blackledge died. died at his home in Newport, North Carolina at the age of 16. Very sad. We do not know the cause of death for Joshua. So it does make one wonder. I hope it wasn't what first comes to our mind.

Was that drug overdose? No, no, that's not what comes to first to mine. What was that? Suicide? Yes, that's what it is. You didn't need to mention it. That's what first. I hope it doesn't, it isn't that. Anyway, you may know Joshua because he was a big-time TikTok star.

He, well, you may follow him under the handle F-30 Josh. I mean, hello, if you don't follow F-30 Josh, J-O-S-H-H, then you, you know, you should because Joshua Blackledge was a big-time TikTok star. He had over a million followers on TikTok. He apparently enjoyed, making videos around water, fishing, boating, and worked on cars and trucks. So very sad that Joshua Blackledge dead at the age of 16. Oh, and remember the unknown disease that was going around in the Democratic Republic of Congo,

yeah, the DRC. We didn't know what it was, the unidentified illness. 50 people died. 943 people fell sick. I think over 50 people died. Anyway, we now know that while it was unidentified, we now have identified it. And it's not something new.

It's not something from space. It's not something that we didn't know about. It was malaria. I don't know why it took so long to tell us that it was malaria. Makes one think maybe it wasn't that it was something new, but, you know, that's just me thinking out loud because they say lab testing on the samples have now confirmed that it was malaria. And that's according to the INSP coordinator, Christian Gunda.

The INSP, of course, is the National Public Health Institute. That's why they go by the INSP. Duh. So at least we know. We know now that it is malaria. Now they claim that they still. are awaiting results from the water, the drinks, and the food samples that were sent abroad to test for intoxification. So they don't have the availability to test in the DRC? That needs to change.

Perhaps we need to reappropriate some money because you'd think that they would have a lab. You'd think the INSP would have a lab to test for that in the DRC. But they do not. So we'll see see what they report on when they get those samples back. But for right now, don't worry about it. It's no longer unknown. It's just your run-of-the-mill malaria.

Did you know that this plant actually existed? I did not. It's the water hemlock plant, and it's so deadly that it leaves its victims with a smile. Yeah, really weird. So it's the C-I-C-U-T-A plant. I believe that's Sikuta.

Yeah, that's what I said. Sikuta plant. I said that. You could go down. Man, I gave her yesterday off, and now she's back with a vengeance. So anyway, it's the most poisonous plant in North America. It's toxin, Saku-toxin, attacks the nervous system,

causing violent convulsions, and in some cases, a sinister-looking grin due to muscle contractions. That's why it has the reputation as the poison that leaves a smile. Yeah. So you don't want none of the secuda. I don't know if anyone's mixing up sacuda for you or if you have a sacuda plan out, you know, out in the backyard. But if you do, don't eat it. Don't put it in your system.

don't have sacuda tea, don't have secuda stew, don't have sacuda anything. Otherwise, it gives you the, you're dead, and you will die with a smile on your face. So it's the poison that leaves a smile. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

See app for details. Okay, so we've all seen the reports, or at least I have been seeing them everywhere, that according to declassified CIA documents, that the Ark of the Covenant may have been discovered in 1988 through a secretive remote viewing program known as Project Sunstreak. So apparently, these documents detail a session where a remote viewer reportedly made contact with what was believed to be the Ark. So, is it real?

Is it not real? You know. Right now, as far as I can tell, there's no physical evidence or official confirmation of the arc's location or discovery that's been publicly substantiated. So is the ark just in that giant warehouse that's at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark?

Is that where it's at? Huh? Is that where it's at? Because I think that's what we all think. I mean, or do we just think it's all BS? because you don't believe in the remote viewers. I kind of do. I kind of do believe in the remote viewers. I like the idea.

I like the idea of remote viewing. There's a difference between remote viewing and out-of-body experiences. Right? So when you have the OBEs, that's different than remote viewing. When you're remote viewing, you're in one place

and you're making yourself go to another place and you're viewing what's happening in that place, whether it be in the future or the past, but it's a specific time. Now, I've not been a part of any of the CIA remote viewing secretive missions like Project Sunstreak or any of the others. So I don't know if they had remote viewers

with a specific date in mind and they went back to look at that or if they were just, you, you know, sit down and you get yourself in the frame of remote viewing mind, and you end up someplace, and then you come back, and you're at the whole time you're writing where you're at, what's going on. You see a lot of remote viewers drawing while they're remote viewing, which then they come back and that documents where they were, that kind of thing.

So as of right now, as far as I know, there's no physical evidence that the arc of the covenant has been discovered, but, you know, you never know. Don't open it. Whatever you do, don't open it. We did see what happens when you open it in the documentary Raiders of the Lost Ark. You do not want to open that bad boy. I mean, maybe we could send back some remote viewers and find out what king belonged to this tomb. They just announced they found another tomb in Egypt.

Man, they are finding stuff in Egypt all the time. And we are just days away from finding out if what they claim is underneath. the pyramids is real or not. I don't think it is. We haven't heard much since the first couple days of that. I guess we're awaiting the big announcement, but I don't think it is. And I was told that they were using the same technology

that they used in Canada to find the graves of the dead Indians. And then there was never any dead Indians found. So the technology may have not worked 100% the way they said it would. So we'll see if it's actually real. But this actually is. Israel, they found an ancient king's tomb, another one, a new one. Only they don't know who it belonged to. So we need to send a remote viewer back so we can find out who, you know, what king

belonged to this particular tomb. They made the discovery in the Mount Antibis Necropolis in Abios, a major city of ancient Upper Egypt, according to a statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiques. The tomb is thought to date back to the Middle Kingdom's second intermediate period. And you know that. That's the lifespan of 1630 to 1540 BC. At the time, the Heikos dynasty ruled Lower Egypt.

And the northernmost region of the kingdom, the Heikskos, a Greek term for rulers of foreign lands, came from Western Asia, bringing with the major cultural and technological contribution. such as the horse and chariot. So that's, you know, what we think, but we don't know. And we need to send a remote viewer back and find out who the hell this is. Who a king was buried here?

Whose tomb is this for? Because we don't know. All right, let's get a joke of the day and get out of here today. Today's joke of the day was sent to chewing the fat at the blaze.com from Richard, who I believe will be the contestant on what's the lie tomorrow afternoon. So he gets a double wowie this week from chewing the fat. I know, I know. Is it a double wally or a double whammy?

Maybe he just gets mentioned twice. Maybe we just go with that line. So Richardson, this joke is not me. I'm not making these jokes. Okay, not me. This is listeners to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. And maybe, you know, maybe we can take it out on him tomorrow before he plays, what's the line.
